| Who Is The World’s Richest Superhero? Posted: 27 May 2014 07:30 PM PDT  Quick, who’s the richest superhero? If you answered “Batman”, you need to read more comic books. The answer is the Black Panther, also known as King T’Chaka, ruler of Wakanda — only (fictional) country to have vibranium (the stuff Captain America’s shield is made out of). Controlling the world’s vibranium supply has made him filthy rich, with an estimated value of $500 billion. Next comes the superhero known as Iron Man. Tony Stark runs one of Earth’s biggest companies, Stark Industries, which manufactures advanced weapons and defense technologies, including the mega helicarrier used by S.H.I.E.L.D. Tony’s net worth is estimated... Read the full article: Who Is The World’s Richest Superhero? |
| The Right To Be Forgotten Is No Big Deal [We Ask You Results] Posted: 27 May 2014 05:30 PM PDT  Europe recently granted one man the “right to be forgotten,” meaning Google and other search engines have to remove links pointing to past misdemeanours. This is a controversial ruling that could fundamentally change the way search engines collect, store, and use data. Despite this, the MakeUseOf readership gave a collective shrug of the shoulders when asked for its opinions on the subject matter. We Don’t Really Care Either Way We asked you, Do You Want The Right To Be Forgotten? Judging solely by the low number of comments made during this discussion, most people don’t have strong feelings one way...

| Free-To-Play Go Away: Wayward Souls Is A Real iOS Game You Should Play Posted: 27 May 2014 02:00 PM PDT  Today’s iOS marketplace is filled with free-to-play games that provide a small taste of the game, and then suck your soul dry with micro-transactions that seem to never end. Wayward Souls ($4.99, universal) is nothing like that. Instead, it’s a premium game that comes with a price tag and no hidden surprises. You buy it once, and you get to enjoy all of the content offered in the game for ever. Video games have used this model since the dawn of the home console, but charging a premium price tag without having the gameplay to back it up means nothing – does Wayward Souls deliver quality Rogue-like...

| Photographing Food? 6 Tips To Help You Make That Dish Look Appetizing Posted: 27 May 2014 01:00 PM PDT  Do you know what’s better than sitting down to an amazing meal? Taking pictures of it, of course. We’re all guilty of it. You go out to dinner, and after scouring the menu for what feels like hours, you eventually come across something that is utterly mouth-moisteningly tantalizing. When it gets brought to you, you just have to take a food photo to share with your Facebook friends, just to brag about the amazing feast you're about to devour. With that said, some food photos… Well, they just plain suck. Between sloppy lighting and even sloppier presentation, there are myriad...

The glorious Smash Hit was one such breathtakingly beautiful game — and now, Monument Valley is here to show us why game design is most definitely art. It Is Just So Beautiful In Monument Valley, you are a silent princess navigating through a temple. The view is isometric — things look like they are 3D, but you can’t move the camera around. Things looking like they are 3D is the heart of the game: Each level... Read the full article: A Game You Must Play: Monument Valley Is a Drop-Dead Gorgeous Puzzler |

| Forget Linux – A Chromebook is the Perfect Replacement for Windows XP Posted: 27 May 2014 10:00 AM PDT  There are innumerable reasons why users might still be using Windows XP, but ever since Microsoft announced that the operating system would no longer be supported there has been a debate around how its last advocates should proceed. The ceasing of support will unquestionably create problems for people who still rely on the system, and it’s clear that an alternative OS needs to be found – but which one? There are a plentiful number of Linux distributions that can adequately replace the ancient Windows software, and they do have the benefit of not costing users anything to install, but can...

This is an example of how prevalent wireless Internet has become, but some of the networks I can find are not set up properly, making them insecure or unreliable. Here are 10 avoidable mistakes that cause such WiFi woes.

| Should You Think Twice Before Logging In Using Social Accounts? Posted: 27 May 2014 08:00 AM PDT  It feels like every time you sign up for a new service, you can choose to pick a username and password or just log in with Facebook or Twitter. Logging in with your Google account is often an option, too. It’s fast and it’s easy. But should you do it? How Does It Work? Logging in using your social account uses a protocol called OAuth, which (in a nutshell) allows one app or service (the requester, or service you’re signing up for) to connect to another (the service provider, or existing network you’re using to sign up) and act on...

| Google Buys Visual Translation App Word Lens – Then Gives It Away For Free Posted: 27 May 2014 07:30 AM PDT  Google has always put a lot of work into their translation app, so much so that it has become a very effective and powerful app for getting yourself out of linguistic tangles.

| How to Backup Your Android Phone Logs and SMS to Google Drive Spreadsheets Posted: 27 May 2014 07:00 AM PDT  Your Android smartphone only stores the last 30 days of phone calls made or received.

If you want to keep this data safely backed up, the new IFTTT for Android will automatically store them forever in your Google Drive. Of course, Titanium Backup is still the best backup solution for your Android smartphone, but remember that’s paid and only for rooted phones. Plus, it only keeps the data safely and doesn’t turn it into an easily searchable spreadsheet. With the launch of IFTTT...

| 4 Video Game Blogs You’ve Never Heard Of That You Should Read Posted: 27 May 2014 06:00 AM PDT  Video game journalism sometimes feels like a snow globe.

But dig a little deeper and you’ll find some awesome sites that offer new value to the gaming blogosphere. Ever wondered why games are so addicting?

| LazePad iPad Holder Review and Giveaway Posted: 27 May 2014 05:30 AM PDT  iPads are beautiful – but can be unwieldy for extended use, and are just so delicate. Fix both those problems with a LazePad holder. The LazePad may seem like a simple block of rubber – but it’s a rather well designed block of rubber that I’ve grown quite fond of over the last few weeks! I’ve dumped my old folio case entirely – the LazePad is just so versatile, comfortable, and useful. The LazePad comes in three colours: black, blue, and shocking pink – each retails at $54.99. For a similar price, you could get a Belkin case with built-in keyboard but... Read the full article: LazePad iPad Holder Review and Giveaway |
